Let's say I have a hobgoblin ruffian racket rogue with hobgoblin
weapon familiarity
1. rogues get sneak attack damage with agile or finesse weapons-
"When your enemy can’t properly defend itself, you take advantage to
deal extra damage. If you Strike a creature that has the flat-footed
condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse
unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, you deal an extra 1d6
precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown melee weapon, that
weapon must also be agile or finesse."
2. rogues with ruffian racket can get sneak attack damage with any
simple weapon as long as the damage die is not larger than d8-
"You use whatever tools you have at hand to get the job done. You can
deal sneak attack damage with any simple weapon, in addition to the
weapons listed in the sneak attack class feature. When you critically
succeed at an attack roll using a simple weapon and the target has the
flat-footed condition (unable to focus on defending itself), you also
apply the critical specialization effect for the weapon you’re
wielding (page 283). You don’t gain these benefits if the weapon has a
damage die larger than d8 (after applying any abilities that alter its
damage die size)."
3. hobgoblins with hobgoblin weapon familiarity get access to glaives.
glaives are martial but with the familiarity feat they are considered
simple weapons-
"You are trained with composite longbows, composite shortbows,
glaives, halberds, longbows, longspears, longswords, shortbows, and
spears. In addition, you gain access to all uncommon hobgoblin
weapons. For the purpose of determining your proficiency, martial
hobgoblin weapons are simple weapons and advanced hobgoblin weapons
are martial weapons."
If I am reading this correctly, a hobgoblin ruffian rogue can use
simple weapons with d8 damage die or less to get sneak attack and
since a glaive is considered a simple weapon with the weapon
familiarity feat, he gets sneak attack damage with a glaive.
Am I reading this correctly?
